40 GIANT hands ready!

The giant hands are now complete and ready for their journey down to Wiltshire! The next stage of their journey will see the Barons all decorated by community groups and schools ready for the celebration marking 800 years since the signing of the Magna Carta. 

The GIANT parade will be taking place in Salisbury on 15th June.

Gigantic hands!

Over the next few weeks it's going to be a busy month at Festive Road HQ working on the Magna Carta Giants project. I'll be making 40 giant hands using wire, recycled pillow wadding and muslin.

Wire forms the basis for the Giant Hands

The hands will belong to Giant Barons that, once complete, will travel to Wiltshire ready to be decorated by local community groups. 

Once decorated, the finished Barons will then be making their appearance in Salisbury on 15th June to mark a special celebration marking 800 years since the signing of the Magna Carta!
